TourEdu4All
TourEdu4All aims to strengthen the capacities of SSA Tourism VET institutions in terms of empowerment and inclusive access for disadvantaged populations, entrepreneurship practices, including funding opportunities at VET level, digital technologies and excellence in Tourism, through the development of a Holistic Model for inclusion in Tourism VET at the heart of which lies the knowledge exchange of a networked collaboration, realistically adapted to the context of the partnering SSA countries. The Holistic Model for inclusion in Tourism VET, comprised by the identified expertise and Good Practices of the VET partners, will act as the basis for the development of the capacity building training curriculum that will target the partnering VET providers and teachers/trainers, to cultivate skills of the future workforce that successfully correspond to the Tourism industry needs.
Objectives of the project
Need:

- Lack of networked collaboration between SSA and EU VET institutions, and among SSA VET institutions
- Inadequate responsiveness of SSA Tourism VET system to the requirements of the labour
- Lagging development of digital pathways in SSA Tourism VET
The project aims to:
